They knew that Davis was a rape parolee, and inside the apartment, the officers saw a number of troubling things.

A video camera was trained on the bed, and an open journal book contained notations about choking and sex. Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire also spotted marijuana — a clear parole violation.

Perhaps most importantly, Dena Riley admitted to an Independence police detective that her boyfriend enjoyed violent sex.

conversation 33.conv.00222 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping

nswer: To the best of my knowledge the antiquities site is in the fenced area, and here are neither fence nor a sign to indicate that this is an antiquities site.

Question: Do you think that these sherds, taken out by you, are ancient?

Answer: Undoubtedly.

Question: Do you know that a dig in order to take antiquities is an offence even in an area not defined as an ancient site?

Answer: I do not know about it.

Question: According to the law one who finds antiquities must inform the Department of Antiquities. And according to the best of my knowledge no notification was given by you about finding antiquities at this site?

Answer: No, I do not know that I should have done so.�

The conversation was perhaps less dramatic in reality, but in any case, Brosh continued thus: �During this short conversation I explained to Mr. Dayan that the fence was not built by us, but...in order to protect the [later] Moslem burials from damage. A sign stating that this is an antiquities site is posted at a prominent location on top of the hill. I told Dayan that I would file a complaint against him to my superiors. I took with me the broken vessels that Dayan exposed and went. On 10.1.1965 I notified Dr. [Avraham] Biran, head of the IDAM, and Y[oseph] Naveh, area supervisor.� On 11.1.65 I approached the Jaffa Police room no. 5 to Lieutenant ---- [name missing- space left empty]. To his question, against whom the complaint is, I answered, against MK [member of Knesset/MP] Moshe Dayan. He went to the officer in charge of the station who explain to me that one cannot file a complaint against an MK unless the presidency of the Knesset rescinds his immunity. One needs first to apply in writing to the presidency of the Knesset on the matter, and only then, with such letter the police will deal with the case.�

quotation rr.quo.001002 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping

The subsequent release of Col. Halt’s real-time tape recording of events confirmed that the peak figure he quoted was simply a random burst, not a steady level. For much of the time scarcely anything was being picked up by the geiger counters – on the tape we hear them describing the readings at the site as “minor clicks”. Confirmation that this was only background radiation comes from the fact that the same levels were recorded over half a mile away from the supposed landing site, after they had crossed two fields beyond the forest (read the transcript here). The highest reading mentioned on the tape is “seven tenths”, i.e. 0.07; the 0.1 figure reported by Halt appears only in his memo and we do not know exactly where that reading was obtained, assuming it was not just a rough value recalled from memory.

Yet, as is clear from Nick Pope’s quotation above, my conclusion has not been universally accepted. Pope’s own researches led him to claim that the radiation levels recorded were 10 times higher than normal, and similar claims have been made by others.
